AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Striking and original set of spice jars produced by Ceramica Franco Pozzi of Gallarate, featuring the famous floral pattern in pop colors, one of the most representative designs of Pozzi production from the late 1960s through the 1970s.
Particularly distinctive are the natural wood lids, with their rounded shapes, which create an interesting textural contrast with the glazed ceramic. In addition to their practical function, the wood helps define the modernist, informal aesthetic of the entire set.
The set comprises containers in various sizes, jars, small spice shakers, and two taller pieces with handles, as well as a distinctive wooden base designed to hold some of the containers. A coordinated and varied collection, now uncommon to find complete.
This decorative pattern belongs to the most modern period of Franco Pozzi production, when the factory increasingly embraced a visual language closer to industrial design, characterized by simple forms, geometry, and bold colors. This period is particularly interesting also for the presence of Ambrogio Pozzi, a central figure in the factory’s artistic and design development.
In excellent overall condition.
Very rare.

Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
